Yes, try indeed. Of course there is the KKK for starters. Then the
numerous Neo Nazi groups all over the US, and all the other assorted
white only groups of bigots.

Having worked with both black and white musicians all my life in jazz, I
find that they are about equally prejudiced. In music, in women and in
how they view the world, and its inhabitants.
